(PSN)IkariWarrior83 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Dudes, we need to talk about this. It's annoying and obnoxious an the more ally NPCs we get, the more it's gonna suck. Guys, please please please add screen name labels to ally NPCs. When an ally throws out a specter that they bought, like a MOA, it just says "Shockwave MOA." Instead it should say "IkariWarrior83's Shockwave MOA." That simple change will have players wasting less time trying to kill invincible ally units. Please do the same for Shadows of the Dead, and/or put "shadow" at the end, so that it says "IkariWarrior83's Healing Ancient Shadow" or simply "IkariWarrior83's Shadow" and remove the enemy name altogether. I've done plenty of Dark Sector Survivals where my allies are shooting at my shadows because they've never played with a Nekros before, or the game glitches and the "shadow" texture isn't applied. I would suggest doing the same for invasions, too. Put "Allied Heavy Gunner" or "Allied Crewman." That kind of change is less necessary, but no less helpful. We kill so many Corpus and Grineer, it's sometimes easy to forget which side we're on, and shooting at the wrong targets. We quickly figure it out when they take no damage, but it saves time having them labled from jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekushiiandee Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) i find myself shooting and freaking out whenever i see an ally's parasitic eximus charger.....but i like it because it adds excitement and rustles my jimmies Edited January 28, 2015 by sekushiiandee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianJellyfish Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) This one time I did all sorts of combos and air attacks on someone's Osprey Spectre, because I mistook it for a Corrupted Drone. But then again, I once thought a Nova Spectre was an actual player, and was about to ask her "Y U NO MPRIME", until I got close to her and realised. Fun times though.

flamedance58 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Y'know how you can turn on an option to mark your own Kubrow? Why not have that for summoned allies but for everyone? That way you'll know it's an ally when there's a floating Lotus symbol above their heads? Perhaps even have it built into the mini-map too?

I think they currently show up as a blue dot on the mini-map. Still, kind of hard to notice when you're being shot at from every direction...

flamedance58 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 That's true, perhaps have those allies have a blue outline when you have them in your crosshairs? Similar to how some of the Eximus enemies have an orange-ish outline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IkariWarrior83 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 or have the reticule turn green, at least? something to show it's a friend, not a foe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Pharen Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 But it's fun to throw out a moa in a Corpus mission.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IkariWarrior83 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I agree, but I'd like to know that it's yours so that I shoot the OTHER badguy corpus. I have to admit, I'm amazed by how many people sarcastically (or perhaps genuinely) don't want this changed for the sake of trolling others and in some cases, themselves...

(PSN)Pharen Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 So very true. I do it to people all the time, and they can't figure out whats going on, they write things like "this guys invincible" in chat. So much fun. Or throw one down in defence and watch them go nuts. Maybe it's a troll, but it's a lot of fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
